Play as the all-new Vault Hunter, C4SH, and explore the blood-soaked mysteries of The Whispering Glacier in this expansive paid DLC* In-depth Vault Hunter gameplay reveal, and cinematic character short is coming soon

Today, 2K and Gearbox Software announced that Borderlands® 4’s Story Pack 1: Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned will launch on March 26, 2026. The new pack features the all-new Vault Hunter, C4SH; a new zone packed with missions, activities, and collectibles; new exhilarating boss fights; heaps of loot; and much more.*

Uncover the Mysteries of The Whispering Glacier

As a malicious cosmic entity threatens Kairos, and madness lingers on the frigid wind, players will join forces with the plucky, take-no-mess Ellie — mechanic extraordinaire and daughter of Moxxi — on a quest to destroy an alien monolith and enter the accursed Vault of the Damned. Guided by the returning peculiar proprietor Mancubus Bloodtooth, players will brave the icy wastes of The Whispering Glacier, a frozen expanse littered with the husks of derelict ships and dark secrets.

Borderlands fans will recognise returning faces in Story Pack 1 and reunite with oddballs like Mancubus, Pickle, and Crazy Earl. But this self-contained story doesn’t require prior knowledge to be enjoyed, so Vault Hunters of any tenure can feel comfortable jumping right in.

In addition to an aggressively arctic climate and gruesome sights, The Whispering Glacier is also packed with new story missions, side missions, activities, and collectibles. Later in mission progression, players will be able to destroy gargantuan growths of pulsating flesh to unlock new areas, loot, and puzzles. An all-new World Boss mechanic warps players who commune with eldritch trees to a nightmarish dimension where a random boss lies in wait.

In order to access The Whispering Glacier region, players need to own Story Pack 1 and will first need to complete the “A Lot to Process” mission in the Fadefields; its content is recommended for Vault Hunters of level 13 or higher. Additionally, players can start a new Vault Hunter that skips directly to the Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned content at level 13. Alongside the release of Story Pack 1, Borderlands 4 will release a major update that brings the highly requested shared progression across characters, so new characters on the same account will gain access to map progression, SDU tokens, Hover Drives, cosmetic rewards, and activity progression. (Note: in new playthroughs, some fast-travel locations are

locked behind campaign progression.) As noted in our roadmap, cross-platform saves are something the team continues to work on for a later update.

Play as the New Vault Hunter: C4SH the Rogue

Players can set off across the icy wastes as the first of two new Vault Hunters coming to Borderlands 4, C4SH the Rogue, a CasinoBot with a new lease on life. After winning a high-stakes card game, he gained a magical deck that imbues him with eldritch boons. This would be a cursed trophy for most people, but for a robot who has been able to game the solar system’s casinos and battlefields with statistical knowledge, he finally knows what unpredictability feels like. For the first time, he feels human. This drives him to play nothing safe, always bet on himself, and take as many risks as possible.

C4SH is all about going for broke as a devil-may-care gambler, bending luck in your favour to make quick work of enemies. For example, one of C4SH’s unique Action Skills, Sleight of Hand, allows C4SH to draw cards from his randomised deck and he throws them to unleash powerful spells. Similar to the other Vault Hunters in Borderlands 4, C4SH has three unique Action Skills to choose from, and can enhance his abilities via three branching skill trees full of powerful Passives and Augments. Stay tuned for C4SH’s full gameplay reveal and cinematic character short next week, ahead of the release of Story Pack 1.

Conquer Deadly Threats and Earn Tantalising Loot

Story Pack 1 introduces a host of new challenges across The Whispering Glacier, including two major boss fights and 16 minibosses. To reach them, players will need to carve their path through plenty of tough enemies like the grizzled soldiers of the DAHL Legion, who abandoned their posts on Elpis to wreak havoc on Kairos, and fierce Kraggons and Scavs.

Players can look forward to plenty of suitable rewards for their troubles. Story Pack 1 features three new Pearlescent weapons and 11 new pieces of Legendary gear, including two Grenades, two Heavy Weapons, two Shields, and five Class Mods, allowing for the creation of even more novel and powerful Vault Hunter Builds.

Mad Ellie and the Vault of the Damned also contains a total of 28 new cosmetic items, including:

• Two Vault Hunter Heads usable by all Vault Hunters
• Four Vault Hunter Skins usable by all Vault Hunters
• Eight Vault Hunter Heads usable by C4SH
• One alternate Vault Hunter body usable by C4SH
• Four Weapon Skins
• Four Vehicle Skins
• Three ECHO-4 Drone Skins & Attachments
• One ECHO-4 Frame

More Free and Paid Content to Come

The 2026 Roadmap reflects lots of free and paid content coming to Borderlands 4 in the coming months. Players will have plenty of new injections of challenging endgame content as one piece of content releases a month until Summer, with a raid boss in April and Takedown in May.

Bounty Packs 3, 4, and 5 will be released throughout Q2 and Q3 2026, featuring a Vault Card full of new cosmetics and gear unlocked through gameplay, alongside new narrative mission content that dives deeper into the lives of Kairos’ memorable characters.** And, players can already look on the horizon for Story Pack 2 later this year, in Q3 2026, including yet another brand-new Vault Hunter, multiple main missions and side missions set in a new zone of Kairos, new gear to earn, and a bunch of new cosmetics.***

The brand-new couch co-op trailer premiered at Future Games Show, spotlighting the return of Movie Night Mode

Guildford, England –March 12, 2026 –Supermassive Games unveiled a brand-new live-action couch co-op trailer for its upcoming sci-fi survival horror adventure, Directive 8020, during today’s Future Games Show. The trailer showed a group of friends playing couch co-op Movie Night Mode, intercut with in-game moments of split-second quick-time actions, narrative decisions, and alien mimics.

Survive Together, Don’t Play Alone

Complementing its gripping single-player experience, Directive 8020 allows up to five players to play through the story together in local couch co-op via the returning Movie Night Mode. Each player takes control of a crew member aboard the Cassiopeia, passing a single controller between each other as the story unfolds. It’s up to the player and their friends on who lives and who dies; every choice matters, every mistake can be fatal, so players must work together to survive alien infiltrators, deadly dilemmas, and catastrophic system failures! Don’t Play Alone, and trust no one – not even your friends!

Directive 8020 will also support five-player online multiplayer in a free post-launch update, mirroring the couch co-op experience and bringing it online, with more information coming soon.

Second Chances, Shared

For the first time in The Dark Pictures, Directive 8020 introduces Turning Points, a new feature that lets players revisit pivotal decisions through a visual branching story tree, giving greater control over how the story unfolds. Major choices and outcomes are mapped as the story progresses, giving players a clear view of how their decisions have shaped the narrative. If a critical moment results in a death, a fractured alliance, or a regrettable outcome, players can return to a key turning point to explore an alternative path or re-try a QTE!

In group sessions and Movie Night Mode, Turning Points adds an extra layer of social tension and excitement. If a favorite character dies, players can collectively debate over whether to accept the consequence… or rewind and attempt to save them, ensuring no two group playthroughs are ever the same! For groups who want to live and die by their choices, Survival Mode locks in every consequence, where all decisions are final.

However you choose to play, the mission begins on May 12 with single-player and offline couch co-op – with online multiplayer arriving post-launch.

Directive 8020 launches on May 12, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), with single-player and up to 5-player couch co-op available at release. Online multiplayer will arrive in a free post-launch update.

About Lashana Lynch

Directive 8020 will feature actress Lashana Lynch as the ground-breaking astronaut ‘Young’ in an intense cinematic sci-fi horror narrative. She can be seen starring and the co-EP of the series, The Day of the Jackal with Eddie Redmayne. Previous projects include The Woman King, Bob Marley: One Love, Matilda the Musical and appearances in the MCU’s The Marvels, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Captain Marvel.
